Stadium Scene’s Main Event

Welcome back for part 2 of our 2020 Year in Review series!  We kick this episode off immediately by talking about D.J.'s hair, D.J.'s lack of haircuts for ten months, and finally when D.J.'s wife couldn't take anymore and butchered his hair right off.

We move on and talk about our guests:

We close out the episode talking about our rapid growth in 2020 from 62 partners to 131 in just 11 months and looking forward to 2021!

Check out the video for this episode on our YouTube channel and talk to you again in 2021!

D.J. and Kate are mailing it in for the rest of the year as we sit down and discuss 2020 in part one of this two-part series.  We discuss how the pandemic sent us home and what we were doing when life changed for us, disc golf, and if "frisbee" is considered an "offensive" word to Disc Golf players.  We shout out to our first responders and our "Essential Workers" at grocery stores and restaurants.  

We move on to talking about bringing the show back in March, trying nutritional products, and why Kate wanted me to try cricket protein, and that Jeppson's Malort is still horrible.  

Next, we move on to discussing the origins of our popular series, "Ten Minutes With..." where we introduced every member of StadiumScene.TV following the same questions and never actually finish the show in ten minutes.  

We close out part 1 of the series by awarding our longest episode winner for 2020.  It takes a bad turn when D.J. pulls a Steve Harvey moment and announces the wrong winner.  The real winner was "Sporty with Cori and Richie!"    

Check back next week for part 2 of our series and check out the video over on our YouTube page.

It's our last episode of Ten Minutes With... for 2020.  Not for good!  We're always out to break new records and this week we broke a record by going the longest into a show without actually introducing the guest.  The conversation starts off talking about "pandemic hair".    

Today Kate and D.J. sit down with "TV", host of "TV on Basketball" found on your favorite podcast app or via his YouTube channel.  We get into the details of why he started a podcast, who his favorite NBA team is, and Kate's random, but not so random "What do you think about bubbles?" question without any context.  

Next, we move on to a follow-up discussion about the "Malice at the Palace" and D.J. talks about how he got Reggie Miller to admit on Twitter that he seriously considered coming out of retirement to play with "The Big Three" in Boston.  Before wrapping up the show, Kate breaks out the Space Jam discussion and we discuss how amazing a team of Patrick Ewing, Larry Johnson, Shawn Bradley,  Muggsy Bogues, and Charles Barkley would have been in their primes.

Kate decided to show up for work this week and brought with her the "Quiet Please" golf sign that she will be using from now on to tell D.J. he's talking too much!  

Today the duo sit down with Mark Bland, Co-Host of "Sports Talk with Mark and DP" on The Good News Sports Radio.  Mark talks about why he got into broadcasting and his involvement in how he got started with The Good News Radio.  

Mark also shares the story while he was living in Detroit, he met Rob Parker (from Fox Sports/FS1) and had the courage to approach him and ask him for career advice.  That discussion that day started a great mentor/friendship that Mark is very proud of.

This one is a doozy today.  We have a new record holder for the longest TMW episode and it goes so far off-topic, Jay Leno and Pat Morita's straight to video buddy cop film gets a mention.  This is all because Kate wasn't here to watch the clock!  

D.J. is joined by Cori Crenshaw and Richie Flores of Sporty with Cori and Richie to talk many things, but specifically about their Arizona Coyotes podcast on The Hockey Podcast Network.  We talk about everything from supporting a club that has gone through a bankruptcy, numerous ownership changes, and stadium drama.  Even after all of that, they still feel the future is bright for the club.    

The conversation expands on how it's tough to be an Arizona sports fan with the Suns former GM having a goat take a literal crap in his office, the Cardinals being more or less terrible outside of a few years, and the Dbacks threatening to move.  When we go off the rails, we talk about how to keep busy during the off season and talking about "random stuff" to keep busy.  Movies, 18 foot long pythons in Florida, the Fast and the Furious series, the pain of being a Vikings fan, and how bad are NFL kickers?

Oh, a couple of profanities slip in this episode, so listener discretion is advised.

Kate and D.J. are joined today by Hutton Jackson, from The Sports Profession.  Hutton was introduced to us by our mutual friend Mark Lawson, The Game Day Tourist (Check out The Game Day Tourist wherever you download your favorite podcasts).    We de-rail the show right away talking about Hutton's current state of residence, New Jersey.  Everything from stereotypes to pumping gas and D.J. shares an experience with trying to pump his own gas in Oregon before he realized that wasn't allowed.  

Once we get back on track, we discuss Hutton's experience with working on MLB Network and the NHL Network, and how his interest in sharing the stories of others who have traveled down the same path could be a great podcast.  The thing that stands out to him is that even people that have "made it" still write their own scripts, film their own material, and other difficult tasks that you still have to do.

Before the show starts today, Kate unveils the "Ten Minutes With..." leaderboard with our top four guests who have blown past the ten-minute mark.  Check it out and see if you've made the top 4!  

Kate and D.J. are joined by Brandon Pate, host of Brandon's Sports Talk.  Brandon may honestly be the hardest-working personality on YouTube today.  He pumps out on average ten interviews a week (including one with D.J. a few weeks ago!).  He talks about his process for finding guests, making sure he doesn't put a guest in a spot where they could be in violation of NCAA rules and the process he goes through dealing with university athletic departments to secure interviews.

Kate is wearing the same shirt she wore in last week's episode, but you wouldn't know that unless you checked out the video on our YouTube channel!  Ok, it's because we filmed this episode ten minutes after last week's episode...  Kate and D.J. are joined by Ryane Dunne of One and Dunne Radio.  Ryan lives in Georgia and is originally from Michigan.  He kicks off the show by explaining why he shows up to the episode in an Indianapolis Colts hat.  

Ryan's love for sports media turned into his show and a podcast.  He loves to chat with guests and bring on sports writers across the country.  He's recently talked to Bob Ryan, the legendary writer from the Boston Globe and ESPN!    Ryan finishes off by giving his advice to anyone that may be struggling with listener count.  Check it out!

Kate and D.J. are joined again by Nick Hedderick from StrandedSports.com and the Stranded Sports Podcast to talk about the 2nd annual Stranded Sports Charity Live Stream for Pittsburgh Children's Hospital on Tuesday, November 10th from 9pm to midnight EST.  Last year they broke their $500 goal with around $700 of donations and this year they are going for $1000!    

If you've watched Nick's episode previously, Nick is a cancer survivor and PCH is a big reason why.  Around the anniversary of his now 7-year cancer-free diagnosis, Nick uses that as a way to give back to a great organization.

Today on our unofficial Halloween episode, D.J. and Kate "The Sloth" are joined by Ed de la Fuente, the "Itinerant Fan".  Ed started his site about ten years ago as a way to document his travels to stadiums around the world and share his experiences.  Ed talks about attending the NLCS game in San Diego despite not being allowed into the stadium through a unique venue option.    

In addition, we discuss finding your audience and adjusting your work to be more helpful and more interesting to readers and not just you as the writer.  Finally, we discuss how Pinterest is a powerful source of traffic for bloggers and it is severely underutilized.  The stereotype that Pinterest is just for women sharing recipes is absolutely wrong on many levels and we go into why.
